"Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, and O2 Telefónica propose reallocating DVB-T2 frequencies for mobile use starting in 2031. A WIK Consult study suggests this could save public broadcasters up to 369 million euros over ten years. Security authorities also seek these frequencies for a new broadband government radio network. ARD opposes the plan, citing the continued importance of antenna television and the lack of alternatives for wireless microphones."
